Orange blend, Friuli

$80

In the glass

Made by one of the growers who brought skin-fermented white wine back to the Italian-Slovenian border, and still one of the names people ask for.

A cloudy orange wine from Oslavia, on the Italian side of the Slovenian border, where white grapes are fermented on their skins like red wine. Papaya, stewed quince and apricot sit over wild herbs, with bright acidity, a nutty, savoury middle and a salty, faintly bitter finish. Wilder than a regular white, and it keeps changing for days after opening.
